How about...buying a bunker or a series of bunkers linked by tunnels near the beach? That would be amusing!!!

Now, if my wealth were absolute, I'd probably get myself a nuclear powered (or at least long range) submarine but w/a deck and all kinds of amenities. I'd expect to be on the surface most of the time, and would dive just to have a smooth ride when seas are rough. And there WOULD be a watertight hangar with floatplane/flying boat!! Or just get a huge amphibious plane because I'm not sure there are many places in the world which can service a civilian submarine.

how about the Walraversijde open air museum in Belgium?

It's got trenches, tunnels and bunkers from both the 1st and 2nd WW

The Belgian beaches are generally less good than the Dutch ones though

Yer hired to design a 3-d model of a plank and build it so I can make ye walk it!

And Mark is hired to be the children's party coordinator, where he can sing that song all day long, complete with the outfit. I'll also need him to double-check HundertzehnGustav's investment reports and ensure they are both accurate and spelled corekly.

First: I'd probably howl with glee and before anyone says no not that dire programme on E4
Second: Probably invest about 75% of it in oil.
Third: Whatever's left would go to buying a house and getting myself an awesome studio setup
